Church View

Church View is a house located in Horham, consisting of two sections. The main part on the left, which is furthest from the road, dates from the 15th or early 16th century. The adjacent section is from around 1700 and was likely built in two stages. The building is timber framed and roughcast-rendered, topped with a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the left. It has two storeys on the left and one and a half storeys on the right. The windows are scattered and include small-paned casements, mostly from the 19th century, along with one raking dormer. There is a semi-glazed door from the mid-20th century, and each section features an internal stack. The gable end facing the road has an additional entrance with a wooden trellis porch. The older section has three irregular bays, with the narrower center bay, now housing the stack, having once served as a smoke bay, evidenced by sooted timbers. The structure retains intact irregular studding with reverse-curved braces and lacks a middle rail. While the roof structure is mostly concealed, it is likely intact. A 17th-century inserted floor features a chamfered bridging beam supported by horizontal timbers placed between two adjacent studs, with chamfered joists set flat.
